1 Safety Precaution 1.1. General Guidelines 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE There are special components used in this equipment which are important for safety. These parts are marked by in the Schematic Diagrams, Circuit Board Layout, Exploded Views and Replacement Parts List. It is essential that these critical parts should be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent X-RADIATION, shock fire, or other hazards.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home then the fuse should be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safety.
2.2. Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensi- tive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor components.
2.3. Handling the Lead-free Solder 2.3.1. General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF) The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation. The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb).
2.4. How to Replace the Lithium Battery (PROCEDURE) 1. Remove the Monitor FPC of Side Case (R) Unit. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Unsolder the Lithium Battery and then replace the new one. (See Figure B1.) 3. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Fig.
